First person shooters really made their mark in the 90s, and there are some massive milestones such as Wolfenstein 3D and Doom of course, but the one which had the most impact on the gaming community was undoubtedly Quake.

Right after the Nintendo 64 was released we were given our first look at what 3D platforming should be, with Mario 64. But legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto was holding back his true masterpiece, and it was a year and a half later that we'd finally get to control a 3D version of Link, in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
